Why can't I post a long post?

For the past 3 weeks or so whenever my post is more than a couple of lines longer than the little box it's typed in it doesn't work. I click post and the computer thinks for ages and then it can't find the page. If I go back and split it into two or more separate posts then it's fine.

Is it my computer or does Mumsnet Towers thing I'm too verbose and not very interesting?

Yes you are too verbose

Or perhaps it's the drivel filter?

oh no! sorry you're experiencing problems bran - I'm afraid I don't know why this is happening - this is one for big tech but I'll alert him to this thread and get him to help you out tomorrow.

bran · 19/08/2008 20:45

Thank you.

Does this mean you don't think I'm boring and verbose? [needy emoticon]

Now you should no better than to post "ignore this", BigTech.

CvQ · 20/08/2008 10:57

wow
you speaka ma language

BigTech · 20/08/2008 10:59

Ok, well that worked fine.

I do not know what could be going wrong, please restart your computer, come back to this thread and copy and paste the first 5 paragraphs of my post in the box then try to submit it...

bran · 20/08/2008 13:55

I must be me then, it just did the same thinking for ages and then throwing up an error page. Now that I think back this may have started around the time that we changed to Tiscali, so perhaps it's Tiscali's fault.

OP posts:
bran · 20/08/2008 18:20

Sorry, that probably wasn't clear - I did try to post the latin stuff but it wouldn't.

Would you like me to keep removing paragraphs until I get to the length that it will post, or is it just not that interesing a problem?

OP posts:
moondog · 20/08/2008 18:24

I've had thisfor past 4 weeks Bran, but assumed it was because on cronky laptop in Bangladesh. I think it's getting better but i have definitely been REINED IN.

moondog · 20/08/2008 18:24

Ialso had to split up long posts.

bran · 20/08/2008 19:02

You and I just can't take a hint can we. They try to limit us and we just do lots of little posts instead of one big one.

OP posts:
Twiglett · 20/08/2008 20:53

so it's definitely a drivel filter then

bran · 20/08/2008 23:01

Moondog types nothing but sense and humour. And I'm saying that because I'm hoping she'll stand up for me too it's the truth.

OP posts:
BoysAreLikeDogs · 20/08/2008 23:09

WTF did thatpost by BigTech mean??

Babel fish just went [shrug] at me

And at drivel filter

bran · 25/08/2008 14:59

Hey Big Tech, I still can't do long posts. Do you think it's definitely me/Tiscali? Some of the stuff I'm trying to post is nearly interesting or slightly useful so I feel sure I can't be MNTowers policy to restrict my post size? [hopeful emoticon]

OP posts:
BigTech · 26/08/2008 10:08

No one is limiting what you say on mumsnet, there is some really good content written by mumsnetters everyday.

The problem may be that your internet connection is not fast enough and is not being able to process the request (i.e submit a really long post).

Or

It could be your browser, have you tried using Firefox (A great alternative to Internet Explorer or Safari). Although we do test popular browsers when diagnosing a problem, and i have not found any problems with using mumsnet on Internet Explorer or Safari.

bran · 26/08/2008 10:44

Thanks BigTech, I think the speed of the connection could well be an issue. I'm definitely not getting the speed that Tiscali claim to provide and it seems worse when DH is online too. We are supposed to be going wireless, but I can't see that happening at all at current speeds.

I'll have a go with Firefox and see if it helps.

(I know that MN aren't limiting me BTW, and I love that you think there is some good content written everyday. )
